In conjunction with the Youth Leadership Academy 2013 organised by McKinsey Kuala Lumpur Office, the Team MYUNIBUS launched its University Shuttle Tracking Website portal on 9th September 2013 at Sunway University. This myunibus.com is the first website portal that tracks university shuttle buses in Malaysia which aims to reduce unnecessary waiting time at bus stops.

The Team MYUNIBUS collaborated with the Sunway Education Group and Sunway Travel to be the country’s pioneer in developing a system that truly benefits users of shuttle bus services.
The myunibus.com website portal was officiated by Elizabeth Lee, Senior Executive Director of Sunway University and Sunway Education Group, and Prof Graeme Wilkinson, Vice-Chancellor of Sunway University, and followed by an on-the-spot demonstration of the shuttle bus tracking programme. A bus tour was taken by Team MYUNIBUS members and invited guests when the Free Shuttle Bus Service provided by Sunway Travel arrived on time as shown on the MYUNIBUS website portal. Aside from Lee and Prof Wilkinson, the presence of Jeremiah Lim, COO of Sunway Travel, heads of departments of Sunway Education Group and Sunway University, and the participation of students at the foyer amplified the crowd’s excitement for the launch of MYUNIBUS Website Portal.
The launch of MYUNIBUS website portal excites most of the students and even residents in the integrated Sunway Resort City. These commuters claimed that the difficulty in estimating the arrival time of a bus at their stop had led them to instead hire a cab to travel to their next destination around Sunway Resort City. The introduction of MYUNIBUS Website Portal is clearly a solution for users around Sunway Resort City to reduce their daily transportation cost, to cut down idle time waiting at the bus stop and reduce the probability of being a victim of crime.
“Team MYUNIBUS is grateful to Sunway University and Sunway Travel for their support and we will push forward to improve the website portal”, according to Adam Malik, the Project Leader for MYUNIBUS and student in the ICAEW programme at Sunway TES. “We would like all users to provide their honest feedback on our product. Our product’s main purpose is to serve the community and we want to deliver only the best!” he added.
“One small step by the MYUNIBUS might be a great leap in the country’s urban development”, remarked fellow Team MYUNIBUS member, Tan Li Jean, a BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance student at Sunway University.
Aiming to provide an avenue for users of shuttle buses in all universities and colleges in Malaysia to plan their journey in a more time efficient manner, the Team welcomes any form of sponsorship and partnership in order to boost this nationwide project to a higher ground and to take this MYUNIBUS project to the next level by introducing a Mobile App on IOS, Android and Windows platform.
